Gordon heard of Al's plight in

Vancouver Province, phoned to
the coast and offered him a job
which Al took and which is proy-

The day etched on Al's mind
is July 20, 1951, when he was

acation. It was a summer job
'o fll in the period. between
grade 11 and 12 school studies,
and he was working on the
sonst at the head of Knight In-
let.

Al liad only spent a month
as chokerman on the fateful day
when he bent down under a
tree which was sticking out of
the bush. The trée above him
appeared safe as It lay with its
trunk a, few feet above the
ground. The rigging slinger
jumped on the tree to supervise
operations just as Al was going
underneath, and the next thing
Al knew, the tree came down on
top of him and crushed him
up and
against his chest. The vertebrae
in his back were stretched and

back to high school to complete
grade 12 and then to university
where he decided to study to
become a chartered accountant.

He lasted two years but his
hopes of making the grade be-
gan to wane as he contacted
various chartered accountant’s
officies in Vancouver without
any encouragement wherever he
went. They said be would not
be able to move around suffi-
ciently and cope with inter-
office visits and calls on busi-
nesses which the profession
demanded. Seeing hopes of his
aspirations dwindling, plus in-
creasing difficulties with the
massed Vancouver traffic, which
made wheelchair transportation
something of a hazard, began to
play on Al's nerves.

STORY BRINGS RESULTS

It was at this stage that Jean
Howarth eard of Al, inter-
viewed him at once, and wrote
a story about him last October,
under the title ‘Good Man
Needs A Job.”

Gordon Cole read the story
and, along with five other good
samaritans in British Columbia,
offered Al a job. All the other
positions were at the coast, and
this was the main factor which
decided AI to come to the In-
terior along with reports which
he heard about Gordon in Van-
couver. “ Gordon’s a great guy
and I certainly haven’t regretted
the move one bit,” Al states.

He can do everything for him-
self except walk, but what he
enjoys most of all is to propel
his wheelchair alongside _ his
